These are actually a bit heavier fastner than the stock flange nuts. While waiting for the new stuff to get here, I had polished the yellow off of the original ones. They came out real nice. Don't know how long they'll stay that way. Said Molly to James, that's a fine motorbike. Richard Thompson

He'll take your credit card and set you up an account. He'll probably ask if you need a catalog. If not, you may want to remind him. The catalog may take a while, but they'll send the parts on out. It's the automotive one. MC catalog is a dealer-only thing. Shipping charges are their actual USPS amount. generally <$2. Beats Ebay! Said Molly to James, that's a fine motorbike. Richard Thompson

You should have one or two threads of the bolt protuding out of the nyloc nut. If I did that at work I would get a nice big pinapple presented to me from the boss, and if the nut came undone I would lose my job. However it is your motorcycle, so you can do what you like. Anyone else work in the aviation industry? Cruser

How's the clearance with yours? A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)

The fit is about the same as the flange nuts. The lock grabbed way before they tightened up. >How's the clearance with yours? Ok. Can't say exactly what the clearance is, but no contact.
